Abstract
JOHNSEN, Roberto m. The Frankliniella curiosa species group (Thysanoptera: Thripidae). Rev. biol. trop [online]. 1998, vol.46, n.3, pp.717-738. ISSN 0034-7744.
This is a review of the Mexican species Frankliniella curiosa Priesner, together with the description of eight new Mexican related species. The outstanding morphology of antennal segment III in the adults, with a ventral projected and curved beak (which covers the pedicel), is an exclusive and typical character, which allows their separation into a new and different species group in the genus. Some other morphological characters divide the group in four species assemblages. Illustrations of the head, antennae, thorax and abdomen of each species are included.
Keywords : Thysanoptera; Frankliniella curiosa group; new species; México.
